So you use EtherRegen    .   Do you have any informations about EtherRegen  generation 2 ?
Reading this thread , I have been looking for informations .

@ozzy

On their web site .   : 1000mbps  capability on both side , 2nd SFP cage on side B , etc .

Therefore we now expect first shipment of EtherREGEN Gen2 will not take place until September 2024.

If , 100 mbps is the best for audio , I hope UpTone Audio will not take the 1000mbps road ....

Another expensive filter , I just learned about

I received a Mail from Uptone Audio

The EtherRegen second generation will be availlable  early 2025 .

@ozzy

From the EMail ,  I received this morning ( it is a long text )

As you may have read, we have been working hard in development of EtherREGEN Gen2 for over 1 year—utilizing more readily available parts and incorporating a number of technical advancements. These include Gigabit capability on both the ‘A’ and ‘B’ sides of our unique active-differential-isolation moat, even lower jitter clock synthesizers, an exceptional new PHY chip, and the world’s best sine-to-square wave converter (benefiting those who chose to pair with an external 10MHz reference clock). The new version will even include a second SFP cage—on the ‘B’ side—to improve performance for users of optical endpoints.

 

However, every day and night we are trying to solve a last technical riddle with interfacing of two brand new special chips we have chosen. As soon as this puzzle is solved—hopefully within the next couple of weeks—we can then move on to the final round of test boards incorporating all of the elements and advancements of our new design.

 

Realistically, even if we solve this last programming issue next week, there time to produce next full version test board (large with lots of test points) and then actual pre-production test/beta boards all adds up to several more months before full salable production units are ready.

I have bought , last week two ´´ Melco C1-D20 SFP+ Direct Attach Cable ´´ for my Lumin L2 and My LuminX1.

I leaned this morning , from Peter Lei ( WKLEI ) that this cable is not suited for my Lumins . So I canceled this purchase. What a deception . I had great hope for these.

They would not work .

I thought , the optic/ SFP combo was ´´ standard ´´ for every gears .

Thanks to Walter ( Underwood Hifi ) who was very understanding and accepted to cancel my purchase .

According to WKLEI ; Lumin support SFP  but  not  SFP+

@jimboman

I have bought two of this cable ( LuminX1 and Lumin L2) with ´´ APC Optical Fiber edition ´´ Still waiting for the delivery

In replacement of ´´Melco C1-D20 SFP+ Direct Attach Cable ´´
